Architect and TV presenter George Clarke (Amazing Spaces, The Restoration Man, Homes in the Wild) can’t get enough of New Zealand – and in this episode, he reveals why.
George has been visiting us for years, filming across the country’s wild islands, off-grid homes, and jaw-dropping landscapes. From Marlborough Sounds to Great Barrier Island and the Coromandel, he shares his favourite spots, the Kiwi quirks that make him smile and why NZ’s architecture blends so beautifully with nature.
🎯 In this episode:
- The best places he’s visited in NZ – and why they’re unforgettable
- How Kiwi architecture compares to the UK
- The number one question New Zealanders ask him
- Why NZ design is world-leading in eco-friendly living
- What keeps him coming back again and again
I caught up with George on a Friday afternoon in between some appointments so the podcast was a little rushed, but I am incredibly grateful that him and his team found time in their hectic schedule for this conversation, and I hope you enjoy it.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
